How Many Fingers Does a Hamster Have?

All pet owners need to study in advance the characteristics of those whom they want to tame: be it a dog, cat, or hamster. For the latter, many belittle the requirements, which is wrong: the structure of the hamster’s body is just as complex, it needs a special approach. The skeleton of a hamster is fragile, so it is advisable to study its features.

Despite its small size, the front legs of the animal are quite well developed; in nature, in the wild, they dig the ground with them. There are four fingers on these paws, there is also the fifth one, but it is almost undeveloped (atrophied). There are five fingers on the hind legs, but the limbs themselves are weak, with them he removes the dug earth, throwing it back.
